Embodiment
The present invention is described in the range of following experiment.By stainless steel construction and it is being designed to allow for monomer and catalyst Raw material be introduced into and the laboratory scale flow reactor of polymer product being continuously withdrawn in polymerize.By being mounted on Mixing is provided on stainless steel shaft and by the triplicate blade impeller of exterior motor driving.Motor is operated with 1200-1600rpm.It is anti- Device is answered to be equipped with thermocouple to monitor the temperature of reactor content.By the way that the reactor of assembling is immersed in inert-atmosphere glove box In interior pentane or isohexane bath, reactor is cooled to required reaction temperature.The temperature of the hydrocarbon bath of stirring is controlled to 2 DEG C It is interior.The whole devices contacted with reaction medium realization liquid are dried at 120 DEG C before the use and are cooled down in nitrogen atmosphere.
By allow gas pass through three stainless steel columns containing barium monoxide by isobutene (can from Matheson Tri-Gas or ExxonMobil Chemical Company is obtained) and chloromethane it is dry and as liquid condensation and collection in glove box. It is dry HFA 134a (134a) by allowing gas to flow through three stainless steel columns containing 3A molecular sieve, and in glove box It is middle to be condensed and collect as liquid.P-methylstyrene is distilled before the use.By low in chloromethane or 134a It is dissolved into gas HCl in the condensed fluid and prepares HCl solution.These, which are measured, by standard titration technique prepares solution In HCl concentration.In the examples below, the diluent composition of referred to as " blend " is the 50/ of 134a and chloromethane 50wt/wt mixture.
Slurry copolymerization is carried out by preparing monomer and catalyst raw material first.Raw material monomer prepares in glass or metal reservoir In and include isobutene, p-methylstyrene and selected diluent.It is that each copolymerization prepares catalyst in individual reservoir Raw material.Catalyst raw material is prepared by the hydrocarbon solution of the raw material HCl solution and alkyl aluminium halide that add predetermined amount.It is poly- in order to start Test is closed, initial monomer raw material is also prepared for and reactor is added.Monomer concentration in this initial charge is 5wt% isobutene. P-methylstyrene is also added to this by with the comparable wt% value of the ratio between isobutene/p-methylstyrene in feedstock blend In kind initial monomer raw material.It is bathed using the quenching hydrocarbon of glove box and all raw materials is cooled to temperature identical with reactor.
The polymerization in blend is carried out under about -75 DEG C ± 3 DEG C of temperature of reactor, while being grasped at -95 DEG C ± 3 DEG C Make the polymerization in chloromethane.At the beginning of polymerization, bath temperature is reduced several times to provide the bath and reactor content Initial temperature differences between object.By introducing catalyst started copolymer.Rate of catalyst flow is controlled to build between reactor and the bath The constant temperature difference is found to reach the target polymerization temperature of test.Optionally, bath temperature is reduced to help to realize polymerization temperature target.Pass through The formation of the polymer beads (sludge particles) of precipitating determines addition of the raw material monomer from reservoir.Continue the test until reservoir In raw material monomer use up or until consuming the desired amount of raw material monomer.In general, the average monomer in these tests turns Rate is more than 75%, sometime up to 99%.
Observation is made during test, pays attention to the quality and its apparent viscosity of slurry.Once reaction reaches stable state, just collect Slurry sample is formed with measuring slurry concentration and sludge particles.The slurry in sampling reactor can also be passed through in off-test Measure sludge particles composition.
